Medical Conditions - Anti Hbe

Hepatitis B e antibody (anti-HBe) appears in the serum of recovering hepatitis B patients. The absence of hepatitis B e antigen with detectable levels of anti-HBe indicates inactivity of the virus, and there is loss of infectivity in such individuals. Such individuals remain in an inactive carrier state. The presence of both HBe antigen and antibody indicates active viral replication and higher chances of transmission.
